Starting TI 8 Causes a Reboot

I just tried running Acronis TI 8 for the first time on a computer on my small home network. Each time it starts analyzing it runs for maybe 3 seconds and the computer goes into a reboot. This computer is used by my wife who runs it with Standard User rights but I have set all drive partitions for Shared so I can monitor and exchange files with it from my personal computer.

The computer is running Windows 2000 Professional, SP 4 with all current updates. It's on a network and I have Zone Alarm Pro latest edition along with the latest Trend Micro PC Security suite running (not using Trend firewall).

The computer has just recently been wiped and all apps reinstalled. Other than the problem with TI 8 the computer runs beautifully. I want to image it now to preserve a copy of the good system. Has anyone seen a problem of this nature? If so please share the solution.

Thanks

Thanks for the quick response Ilya. After I posted and before I got your message I tried an uninstall.

The uninstall went into the drive analysis routine and analyzed the C and D partitions of the hard drive then it started analyzing the E partition. That caused the computer to reboot and of course the uninstall was unsuccesful. Just to see where the program fails when I try to run it, I went back and tried to run it again. I watched and it also is failing on the anlalys of E drive.

The E partition uses 29.3 Gigs on the 120 Gig Western digital drive. It is formatted NTFS as are all other partitions. The few folders on the partition are only using .3 Gigs. Only one folder is anything out of the ordinary. That is the MSOcache folder where Office 2003 backs up its installation files. The other folders are small minor 3rd party applications.

I just checked and found tha I have Build 768 from my CD so I don't have the latest Build. I will now download the latest one from the site and install it. I will post my results here as soon as I am finished.

Thanks

 

I just loaded the latest build and it fixed the problem. Thanks again Ilya.
